Today I signed up for TKGA's Master Knitter 1 program. I'm putting my so called money where my mouth is. Rather than being in the top x percentile (like MENSA), you just have to meet the rigorous standards of the challenge (like Sasuke/Ninja Warrior. Go Bunpei!) After hearing Whitney talk about it at work, I figured this was slightly more do-able than my hair-brained scheme to achieve a Guinness World Record. Which I still plan to do... some day.

And what do I hope to gain from this experience? A pin and a certificate. And possibly also validation, but mostly I just want the pin.
